Five days later.
"That's Mars." Chen Mengchuan calmly looked at the faint brownish-yellow orb on the enormous screen and spoke slowly.
Everyone could not help feeling excited. After fourteen days of flight, the Tiansuo was getting closer and closer to Mars. The giant astronomical observation telescope mounted outside the Tiansuo had also captured Mars's flight trajectory and preliminary image—a brownish-yellow orb.
Over the past few days, everyone had enthusiastically discussed plans to rapidly terraform Mars. After calculations by Yue'er, the Tiansuo's Artificial Intelligence, the results were highly encouraging time after time. According to Yue'er's plan, humanity could theoretically complete a comprehensive transformation of Mars in thirty-three years and give it a fairly livable environment.
That estimate of thirty-three years greatly excited everyone except Chen Mengchuan.
Chen Mengchuan knew very well that humanity did not have as much as thirty-three years. Once he realized that, his expectations for the Mars terraforming plan quietly diminished.
Tenzhi Technology had now embarked on a path of rapid development, quickly advancing toward many of the goals he envisioned on numerous fronts. He had confidence that his team would soon achieve faster-than-light travel through spatial traversal and Space Folding—and perhaps reach speeds tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold the speed of light.
Once that time came, he would be able to explore and develop the Solar System at a much higher frequency, acquire ever more resources, and begin advancing into the depths of the universe.
"How are the preparations going?" Xu Shuwei asked from the side.
"Wanyu has prepared everything very well. We only need to make the plans and carry them out." Chen Mengchuan answered with a smile.
"Really? Who would have thought that a little HR specialist from Ke University would grow into someone so remarkable? Everyone truly has limitless potential."
